Rock Stars: Geologists Gain Prestigious University Offers

Congratulations to our outstanding cohort of Upper Sixth geologists who have accumulated a multitude of prestigious university offers. Among the twenty Upper Sixth students currently studying A-Level Geology, an impressive 50% have chosen to pursue a degree in geology or a related field. The students have excelled in their studies, with the dynamic program of supra-curricular talks and field trips serving as a rich source of inspiration to expand their knowledge and advance their careers in this field.

Our students have chosen to apply to a huge range of universities nationwide and have received offers to further their geological studies at Durham University, Imperial College London, University of Oxford, University of St Andrews, Leeds University, Keele University, Exeter Camborne School of Mines and Cardiff University.

Head of Geology, Miss Hope, said, “We are incredibly proud of the dedication and enthusiasm our geology students have shown, both in the classroom and in the field over the past two years. Their curiosity, determination, and hands-on approach to learning, whether analysing complex concepts or braving the elements on field trips, are truly commendable”

Student, Libby, who has received offers to study Geology at Imperial College London and Edinburgh University, shared, “The department is truly exceptional, and the teachers make the subject engaging and stimulating. The field trips have been particularly enriching. I have thoroughly enjoyed attending all of the geology talks this term and hearing about many diverse pathways available with a geology degree. While it is too early to determine my specific career path, there seems to be a breadth of potential opportunities.”
